Hello Jacek,
Did you just look into a spectrogram or did you try to produce a
spectrum peak from your data storage?
Do you use the -a th=x function in vtfilter.
I think i have the latest version of vlfrx-tools. It is worth to
upgrade. Instead of the band pass filter i'm using a low pass and a high
pass. After a lot of trials i tend to use this setting as a standard:
vtread -T2018-12-30,11:17,+2h /database | vtcat -p | vtfilter -a th=5 -h
hp,f=1750,poles=8 -h lp,4250,poles=8 | vtblank -a25 -d0.0005 -t100 |
vtmult -f2970.01 | vtresample -r240 | vtresample -r10 | vtraw -oa |
ebnaut -dp8K19A -c4 -r10 -v -f15 -f16 -N5 -M'*****' -k27 -S12
The ebnaut message is just a dummy for a 2 hour long carrier
transmission. The output of that command line will show the S/N of the
spectrum peak in its bandwidth (1/duration).
The autonotch filter is important in that frequency range and can decide
between failed and success!
I would be interested in the result on your side.

Ufortunately i didn't receive anything here. Not very exciting but i
believe that negative results should also be reported.
The spectrograms:

Right now i use the same settings as on my 5170Hz grabber: a 3kHz wide
filter centered on 2970Hz, followed by vtblank -a1.4 -d0 -t100
(vtblank from old vlfrx-tools). I would be grateful for any
suggestions how to improve this, maybe the filter is too wide (and
lets too many 50Hz harmonics through. which upset the blanker).
The antenna isn't optimised for ULF.

Subject: ULF: Carrier on 2970.01 Hz
Hi ULF,
The accu is fully recharged and i am on the hill again, transmitting
on the ground loop antenna. This time, the accu has even more power.
The TX power is 520 W (!), the DC measurement tells i need just 64 V
for 1 A, and now, at 2970.01 Hz i am getting a record antenna current
of 2.75 A!!
The carrier ison the air since 11:17 UTC and i intend to run it for 2
hours again, like yesterday.
Reports are welcome :-)
73, Stefan
